Gnome Miners

Online co-op mining

Gnome Miners is a PC online co-op mining game for up to eight players. You place steampunk drills on the floor of a bottomless pit, sell the ore they produce and buy stronger drills to dig deeper. The drills keep working while you’re away in the caves, so there can be a new pile of ore waiting when you return.

There are 14 drill tiers, from the Rusty Drill to the Celestial Drill, and 14 ores to sell. Each load you haul to the sell pad funds the next upgrade, while digging pushes the pit floor down. The game tracks rising totals with abbreviations such as K, M and B.
